  • Cancun beach renovation gets underway Members of staff at Vacation Express have witnessed work officially beginning on the $120 million Cancun beach restoration and renovation project. The program is underway to restore miles of beaches along the state of Quintana Roo to their original splendor, as many have been affected over time by erosion, climatic issues and the effects of Hurricane Wilma in 2005.
    While recently visiting Cancun to attend the Cancun Travel Mart, The Vacation Express Product team was excited to witness the equipment being moved into place adjacent to the Le Blanc Spa Resort. The beach restoration work involves the use of pipes to pump sand from the ocean floor on to the beaches, where it is then distributed and leveled by bulldozers. According to staff at one resort, the beachfront is expected to increase to approximately 40 meters, bringing back the spectacular beaches Cancun is famous for.
  • Staff at Oasis Hotels also witnessed the beach renovations getting underway and photographed the work in progress.
    Vacationers should not be concerned - the project has been carefully planned to ensure the activities and services Cancun is known for will remain unaffected by the work. Most activity on the beach was completed within a day or so in front of each resort, with minimal disruption.
    This unique beach renovation project will provide a permanent solution not only for Quintana Roo, but the entire Mexican coast.
